Sisters Garden of Prayer and Peace
Dedicated In Thanksgiving To All The Religious Sisters Who Have Served The South Boston Community
L
SBT Staff Report
ast Saturday, May
22nd, at 10am a
beautiful ceremony
took place at the site of
St. Monica Church. A new
garden on the outside of
the church was dedicated
to some wonderful people
who have served South
Boston and its people as
they serve the Lord. It is
named ‘Sisters Garden of
Prayer and Peace’ and is
named for the religious
sisters of South Boston,
who served in this com-
munity for so many years.
This outdoor Garden of
Peace and Serenity will be
part of the expansion of
Monica’s Kitchen which
helps local residents with
much needed meals and
other services.
The welcoming and
opening prayer was said by
Fr. Peter DeFazio, Pas-
tor. Liturgies were read by
Sister Maryadele Robinson
and Sister Margaret Lanen
and by Deacon Paul. The
‘Prayer of the Faithful’ was
given by Marie Charles and
‘Sending Forth’ by Sister
Monica Madden.
The Sisters of South
Boston have through the
years and yes, through the
generations, been true Good
Samaritans in the neighbor-
hood. Their example of
humility, hospitality and
devotion are an inspiration
and model for the ministry
of hope and healing.
State Representative David
Biele was in attendance to
show support and for those
residents who were not able
to attend the dedication last
Saturday in person are en-
couraged to visit it when you
are able to see for yourselves
this very beautiful and im-
pressive new garden.May 27, 2021 SOUTHBOSTONTODAY • www.southbostontoday.com 15
